Let nature clean your spa or whirlpool
Ozone is one of nature’s most
powerful oxidizers and can
safely provide an additional
level of sanitation to your
bathing environment.
The amount of ozone generated by the HydroAir
ozonators is suited especially
for whirlpools and spas.
An efficient sanitizer
Ozone is a very effective
sanitizer and can reduce the
use of harsh chemicals significantly. Ozone makes the water
look clearer and destroys oils

and thereby eliminates the
greasy edge often left at water
level.
Health and safety
Ozone kills bacteria, mould,
mildew, fungi and viruses such
as Legionella. Ozone reverts to
oxygen when its job is done,
leaving no by-products in the
water. Futhermore it does not
affect the pH balance in the
water like traditional chemicals.

Approvals
Our whirlpool and spa ozonators are RoHS compliant. The
whirlpool ozonator is additionally approved according to EN
60335-1 and EN60335-2-60 as
well as EMC approved.

Ozonators
How does it work?
Ozonators works by converting oxygen into ozone. When an air stream passes a corona discharge (CD) chip
or an UV lamp – ozone is created. The airflow is created through a small tube mounted on the ozonator
and on the airline of the whirlpool. See recommended airflow on page 2. The flow created by the whirlpool
pump creates a venturi suction, which draws oxygen through the ozonator. The oxy-gen is then transformed into ozone and added to the water, where it dissolves. See principle drawings for more details.

For optimal sanitizing effect ozone must be added as deep
as possible in the tub. The venturi airspeed is optimal for creating ozone. Higher airspeed will reduce the lifetime of the ozonator and eliminate the effect.

UV ozonators:
• Use a UV lamp to produce ozone
A special UV lamp gives off a specific frequency instantly converting oxygen (O2) molecules into ozone (O3active oxygen molecules) inside the ozonator.
Corona Discharge Chip (CD) - electrical energy
This is how ozone is produced in the lower atmosphere via lightning.
CD ozonators:
• Use a CD electrode to produce ozone
Oxygen (O2) passes through an air gap between a high voltage electrode and a stainless steel groun-ding
electrode. The “energy field of electrons” created by the high voltage electrode instantly converts oxygen (O2)
molecules into ozone (O3).

Ozone features and benefits in whirlpools and spas
People are often insecure about using ozone to purify the water in whirlpools, spas or swimming pools,
because of stories about harmful ozone smog in the air. Installing an ozonator yourself, instead of using
strong chlorine chemicals, is safe, natural and not related to ozone smog from cars.
•
Ozone is the most powerful oxidizer and disinfectant which can safely be used in whirlpools and
spas.
•
Ozone is the alternative water sanitizer to traditional chemicals such as chlorine and bromine.
•
Ozone kills bacteria 3,000+ times faster than chlorine and bromine.
•
Ozone will not burn eyes or leave them red and irritated.
•
Ozone will not irritate or dry out skin.
•
Ozone will not leave a chemical film on material or skin.
•
Ozone will not discolour or damage hair or clothing.
•
Ozone eliminates disease-causing micro-organisms.
•
Ozone does not have to be purchased or stored. Ozone is generated on-site and is introduced
into the water automatically.
•
Ozone does not affect the pH balance in the water, thus minimizing pH adjustments.
•
Ozone eliminates much of the routine maintenance because it does such an effective job of
keeping the water clean. It does so by oxidizing oils and other oxidizable substances (e.g. bathing
oils, lotions), which helps prevent the greasy edge around the whirlpool and spa forming. It
actually removes particles from the water (moving it closer to its natural state) without having to
add more chemicals.
•
Ozone makes chlorine work more effeciently.
•
In the quantities needed for water purification, ozone does not irritate humans or equipment.
•
Ozone leaves no by-products. In contrast, chlorine leaves a chemical by-product called hypochlo
ric acid and additional salts in water applications.
•
Ozone and chlorine work perfectly together: Ozone is a constant oxidizer that destroys organics
and microorganisms very effectively, but only when in contact with water. You will still need to
keep a very low residual level of chlorine in the water.
